6 The 

Back End 

The back end is used by the shop owner or operator to add, modify or delete 

products, categories and other items. 

6.1 

Logging In / Back End Password 

Go to the 

_default.asp page 

on the root of the web. This should bring up the 

login screen. The default login and password is  cactushop  for both. We 

recommend for obvious security reasons that you make changing this a 

priority before you put the site online. CactuShop will display a warning on the 

front end if the default password is not changed. 

Changing the default username and password is easy. In the back end, find 

the `Logins' menu section and click `List / Find'. You are prevented from 

deleting or changing permissions on the main admin account but can change 

both the username and password for it. Other accounts can have any 

permissions set, can be deleted and can have the usernames and passwords 

changed. 

6.2 

Navigating the Back End 

This is similar to the front end in appearance. The number of category levels 

displayed in the category menu is set from the 

categorylevelsmenuback

config setting. If the user is logged in to an account with full permissions, 

three ticks display in the top left corner of the page. Users without full 

permissions will find certain links are greyed out and these pages cannot be 

accessed.
